Family Law

Legal issues may arise at any stage either before, during or after your relationship. We can guide you through this often difficult time and provide you with honest, empathetic advice to try and keep you out of a bitter dispute in the courtroom.

Construction can throw up any number of disputes, and Maxwell & Co can assist you whether you are a developer, a sub-contractor or a customer.

Estate Litigation

Where there’s a will there’s a lawyer (or so they say). A person’s estate, and the way in which it is to be distributed, can often be the cause of a dispute. Maxwell & Co acts for beneficiaries and estate representatives (executors or administrators) with a view to resolving those disputes or to see that appropriate court orders are sought if necessary.

Commercial Disputes

Maxwell & Co have litigated numerous commercial contracts and have advised many small businesses, owners corporations and individuals in relation to contractual and commercial disputes, employment issues, shareholder disputes and leasing disputes. Let us get to the heart of the issue for you or your small business.
